Abstract

In a shift device, when an occupant performs a touch operation on a P position, an R position, an N position, or a D position of a front housing with a finger, a shift range of a transmission is changed, and the front housing vibrates. Here, a plurality of shift positions are provided on the front housing. Therefore, the number of components can be reduced.
